<p>[QUOTE="Prime-Mate, post: 7962403, member: 132298"]Yup, about every four weeks I take a few days off. When fixed costs are nearly $1,200 a week, add fuel, you really don't start making any bank till you go over $2,000 gross. You will also see loads that will cross over on pay cut off. That's one reason you need to average your pay out over the long run. You don't have much of any control on your loads, but they will keep you running. I turn down a lot of loads, which I know pisses them off. They will tell you it's the best they have, but almost every time the next load is much better. That is one reason you may see lower miles, but the rates are much better....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
